Wildly Expressive Paper Masks by Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen Radiate Emotion

The clothed man is reading the newspaper. His presence as a modern man in a mythical landscape peopled by naked women introduces a disturbing element into an already oneiric scene. The newspaper may only be a decoy set up to mislead the suspicions of the observer, for the man may be pretending to read the paper, awaiting the moment when he can ogle or hallucinate the female nudes that surround him.

A Visual Cacophony of People, Places, and Things Fill Chris Millar’s Mixed-Media Paintings

A large, vertical view of the Sala di Giove or Jupiter Room of the Galleria Palatina within the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The artist’s delicate execution and subtle colors, along with the polished sunlight reflected into the large room, creates a luxurious and realistic setting for some of the finest art work to be seen in Italy. The glorious floor of the gallery - juxtaposed rectangular terracotta tiles and small square marble inserts - occupies the lower fifth of the picture while the carved, decorative cornice, lunettes and a portion of the framed painted ceiling take up nearly a third of the upper portion of the picture. This painting is a tour-de-force of artistic perspective.

The Gates is a procession of 7,532 sixteen-foot-high frames from which hang rectangles of heavy nylon fabric, all saffron-colored and stationed at regular intervals (and some irregular, in respect for overhanging branches) along 23 miles of walkways through the 800 or so acres of Central Park.
